Ore

Description

These are items that are mined and can often be smelted into ingots at a furnace. Certain ores can be mixed together into alloys. You can also get mixed ore by recycling items in the Recycler and then passing it through the Centrifuge which will break it down into ore for smelting.

There are some ores that will melt when exposed to sunlight or heat and produce gases. For example Ice (Water) melts into Water and Oxygen. Be careful to keep these out of heat or sunlight until you actually want them to melt.
